Fossil Fuel Divestment Bill 2016: Discussion
4:00 pm
Thomas Pringle (Donegal, Independent) | Oireachtas source
The Minister of State gave examples involving ESB and Bord na Móna. As part of their transition plan from fossil fuels, ISIF could fund those companies for transition projects. I do not believe ISIF could continue to fund them to build peat-burning power stations or coal-burning power stations. However, funding could be allocated as part of their transition plans. Does the Minister of State see any merit in that?
